Connected Energy and Renault to collaborate on energy storage and EV charging technology; second-life batteries in E-STOR

Green Car Congress

With increasing EV sales—97,687 EVs were sold in Europe in 2015, up 48% on 2014—so is the requirement in energy to charge them. This can be used, for example, to store energy generated from on-site renewable generation resources such as solar panels and wind turbines, and then release it as needed at a later time.
